Draker®, a highly innovative insecticide formulated for both free and microencapsulated use, provides the following superior effects:
- Licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health for the control of Ticks, Scorpions, Bedbugs, Ants, Fleas, Cockroaches, Mosquitoes, Houseflies, and Sandflies.
- Immediate knockdown and killing effect on pests.
- Long-lasting control effect in the environment without repelling pests.
- Effective for 90 days in closed areas and 21 days in open areas.
- Odorless and stain-free.
- Original product imported in accordance with the Biocidal Products Regulation.
Long-Lasting Effect
Normal insecticides that remain in the environment for a long time and exert their effect must release the minimum amount of active ingredient necessary to kill the insects in the treated area. Depending on the conditions, it should be effective for at least one week and if possible longer. Pyrethroids such as Cypermethrin lose their effectiveness in a few days or a week under normal conditions due to light, temperature and humidity. In Draker®, Cypermethrin is encapsulated in microcapsules, thus extending the effectiveness period of the substance and keeping the release of active ingredients under control. In addition, with the microencapsulation process, the effect of repelling insects from the drug is also reduced or completely eliminated, thus increasing the possibility of contact of the target insects (Ticks, Fleas, Cockroaches, Ants, etc.) with the drug. It has a permanent effect for a minimum of 90 days indoors. Draker®, which is not found in other drugs, maintains its minimum effect (except for Rain) for 21 days in OPEN AREAS. 300 ml Draker® is applied in an area of 5.000 m2 with motorized backpack sprayers, Blower machines, ULV devices or backpack pumps in such a way as to form droplets larger than 20 microns in diameter for 10 liters of water.
Microcapsules
The microcapsules, in which some of the PBO and Cypermethrin are placed, form a thin porous polymer layer around these substances, providing the following effects:
- The Cypermethrin contained in the microcapsules is protected against degradation.
- The semi-permeable membrane in the microcapsules prevents the release of active substances as long as the product is stored in water. Draker microcapsules become active after being sprayed into the environment. After spraying, the water surrounding the microcapsules evaporates and the active ingredient begins to slowly come out.
- When the active ingredient is completely released, the microcapsules empty and extinguish.
Long-Lasting Permanent Effect on All Types of Surfaces
The effectiveness and permanence of normal insecticides in emulsion form can be significantly reduced depending on the type of surface on which the application is made. Porous and absorbent surfaces significantly reduce the amount of active ingredient that creates an effect. Draker®, on the other hand, is less affected by the surface structure because the microcapsules cannot be absorbed by the surface. Microcapsules protect active ingredients from light, moisture and high temperatures, increasing the effectiveness of the product even in the most difficult conditions such as open areas and hot, humid environments, oily surfaces. Test results show that Draker® can maintain its effectiveness even 2 months after application, even on porous surfaces. It is odorless, does not leave marks/stains and does not abrade. Draker® is a water-soluble product and does not contain any solvents. It is odorless, does not leave marks/stains and does not abrade the surfaces to which it is applied.
Effect
- The free active ingredients in the structure of Draker® take effect immediately after application through respiration and contact. Insects (Ticks, fleas, cockroaches, flies, etc.) that show signs of poisoning a few minutes after application lose their coordination skills and cannot fly or walk.
- Insects (Ticks, fleas, flies, cockroaches, etc.) tend to leave their protected areas and escape in the application area. (Flush-out Effect)
- Cypermethrin microcapsules, on the other hand, do not have a repellent effect on insects. Insects that do not escape from the environment and pass over the applied surface stick to the feet, body and antennae of the microcapsules. Then, the active ingredient is slowly absorbed through the cuticle.
- When insects (Ticks, fleas, cockroaches, flies, etc.) that take microcapsules return to their nests or hiding places, the microcapsules are transmitted to other insects by contact, and thus insects that do not enter the application area are also affected. (Domino Effect)
- The smallest microcapsules mix with dust and other substances in the environment and are eaten by insects, causing their death.
Walking Pests
Ants, Beetles: In addition to its direct effect, Draker also has an indirect effect as a result of the microcapsules being carried to nests and hiding places by insects. Fleas, Ticks and Bedbugs: It can be applied in homes, dog kennels, barns, gardens and other areas where invasive insects can roam. Spiders: Spider webs will not be seen for a long time in the treated areas. Silverfish, Dust Mites and Other Pests: These insects are affected by feeding by eating dust mixed with microcapsules and other organic materials.
